My old 89 Civic LX did the same thing with the lock/unlock sound. It worked
and I sort of got used to it. Now that I hv sold my civic and just got a new
03CRV... i'll watch out for the noise...

1 thing though.. after driving the car for the last 48 hours.. I hv found at
times the windshield wiper "sluggish" ... (not moving smoothly)... We rained
all day last 2 days.. so definitely not becos my windshield was dry.. In
fact, the odd thing was .. after "misting", the wiper seemed to perform
normally.. But as soon as I turn on the wiper (intermittent or regular
mode).. the "sluggishness" returned... any tips?
